Bodysuit Pattern
for Calin 12 inch Boy Doll

and
other Small Baby Dolls

by
Susan Kramer

Here
are instructions for making a one piece bodysuit to fit 11 to 13inch (28.5 to
32.5cm) CorolleCalin, and small baby dolls with similar body types.

It is for boy small baby dolls.

The best feature, in my opinion, is the bodysuit can be used as
underwear to keep the doll's cloth skin clean, as it just covers the cloth
parts of the doll.

Also it can be made up in patterned fabric as light weight summer wear
outdoors.

Supplies needed:

You’ll need one quarter yard (one quarter meter) of material. If using a different
fabric for the lower and upper portions than you'll need a small amount of each
fabric.

Two sticky dots for front shirt and back
shirt closing,(no buttons for kids
doll clothes, please).

Bodysuit Sewing Directions:

Photo
below is CorolleCalin with
one quarter inch side seams.

This is a very easy to make bodysuit pattern with just 1 piece. The
pattern piece is below. Cut 4 pieces of the pattern. 2 for
front and 2 for back.

To
divide pattern in half horizontally to use 2 different fabrics as I did in the
featured photo, cut the pattern at the waist on the pattern piece at the
horizontal line just above the words "1
square" and add one quarter inch seam allowance when cutting out
fabric.

Sew the top
and bottom pieces together before sewing the center seams together.

I also sewed
the waist trim ribbon on before sewing the center seams together.

Sew center back seams together beginning 2 inches below bottom tip of diagonal
neckline.
Place good side of front and back toward each other and sew underarms all the
way to bottom hem on both sides.

Sew front to back at shoulders.

For all hems roll edges in 1/8 inch twice and blind seam: Lower legs, lower
sleeves and all the way around front center up to neck, around neck, down to
back center, up to neck around to front and back to starting place.

To finish sew a sticky dot on center of front and back opening.

Having openings in front and back makes the body suit easy to put on and take
off.

Pattern Piece:

The pattern is traced onto 1 inch (2.5cm) squares of graph paper. You can try
printing out the patterns and see if the squares are 1 inch square, then cut
out the pattern.

These pattern is my copyright but you may use it
for personal use and gifts but not commercially. To make the pattern draw a
grid of one inch squares on and 8.5 by 11 inch paper. Then draw the pattern on
the grid.
